GOVERNMENT AND POLITICSThe political system of Denmark is that of a multi-party structure, where several parties can be represented in Parliament at any one time. Danish governments are often characterised by minority administrations, aided with the help of one or more supporting parties. This means that Danish politics is based on consensus politics. Since 1909, no single party has had the majority in Parliament.

The Government
Since 3 February 2014, the Government has consisted of the parties ‘Socialdemokraterne’ (The Social Democrats) and ‘Radikale Venstre’ (the Danish Social-Liberal Party). Helle Thorning-Schmidt, from the Social Democrats is the Prime Minister.
